Abstract

We introduce new subclasses of close-to-convex and quasiconvex functions with respect
to symmetric and conjugate points. The coefficient estimates for functions belonging to these classes are
obtained.

1. Introduction

Let be the class of functions which are analytic and univalent in the open unit disk given by
and satisfying the conditions , , .

Let denote the class of functions which are analytic and univalent in of the form

Let be the subclass of functions and satisfying the condition
These functions are called starlike with respect to symmetric points and were introduced by Sakaguchi [1].

Also, let be the subclass of functions and satisfying the condition
These functions are called starlike with respect to conjugate points and were introduced by El-Ashwah and Thomas [2]. Further results on starlike functions with respect to symmetric points or conjugate points can be found in [3–5].

Suppose that and are two analytic functions in . Then, we say that the function is subordinate to the function , and we write , , if there exists a Schwarz function with and such that .

In view of subordination definition, Goel and Mehrok [7] introduced a subclass of denoted by .

Let be the class of functions of the form (2) and satisfying the condition

Following them, many authors introduced the analogue definitions by extension as follows (see [8, 9]).

Definition 1. Let be the subclass of consisting of functions given by (2) satisfying the condition
Let be the subclass of consisting of functions given by (2) satisfying the condition
Let be the subclass of consisting of functions given by (2) satisfying the condition

Motivated by the pervious classes, Selvaraj and Vasanthi [10] defined the following classes of functions with respect to symmetric and conjugate points.

Definition 2. Let be the subclass of consisting of functions given by (2) satisfying the condition
Let be the subclass of consisting of functions given by (2) satisfying the condition

In this paper, we introduce the class consisting of analytic functions of the form (2) and satisfying

In addition, we introduce the class consisting of analytic functions of the form (2) and satisfying

By the definition of subordination, it follows that if and only if

In the next section, we discuss the coefficient estimates for functions belonging to the classes and .
